Re it known that u :i citizen et the Unit-ed States, residing nt Sain Bernardino have invented ai of which Redlands, in the county ot' und State of California, new and nsefnl lowei Meat-Saw, the following i5 a specification.

My invention. relates to imprcvemente in power nieutfsaws, and the Object of my invention is to provide a meat haw which may he operated by applying power such ne stearnhgas ci' electricity. l attain this cb'- ject by .ineens ct' the mechanism illustrated in the ifcinnpanifing' drawings, in Which-- Fig; l ica side elevation ci' :i meat hlcck ",h my' power cnw attached.

Onthc opposite end, of "the shaft El from the worm gentil, the :forwardly projecting curved afm 9 pivoted and a Straight rod 9 is Secured in the back of the curved :Urin and has adjnstnhly mounted on its end a connterweight l0. T his rod 9 may loe threaded and the weight,
